video on Biodiversity



CTFS- Center for Tropical Forest Study
6% of world is forests -> 50% of biodiversity
Gap in forest (closely spaced trees->trees cut and affect 50m of vegetation "domino effect")
Forest dynamics-> population of plants fluctuate
rare plants make up 85% of rainforest while common make up 15%
On the other hand, rare plants make up 20% of temperate forest while common plants make up 80%)
